Divisão da série de cinco cursos

One of the most foundational Buddhist teachings, “The Four Noble Truths”, is used as the overall organizing principle for this course and is threaded throughout each session.

The Four Noble Truths are: 

• The Truth of Suffering (we all experience ongoing anxiety, temer, depressão, dor)
• The Truth of the Cause of Suffering (there is a reason why we experience our experience as suffering – ansiedade, temer, dor, depressão, etc.)
• The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering (it is actually possible to end our anxiety, temer, depression and other forms of suffering)
• The Truth of the Path to the Cessation of Suffering (there is an actual path to follow where we learn the tools and methods for how we no longer need to experience anxiety, temer, depressão, e outras formas de sofrimento)

Curso eu – A Primeira Nobre Verdade: Encontrando o Sofrimento com Maitri

This first section of the 5-part course offers an exploration of the nature of suffering (the anxiety, depressão, and fear we work with every day) from the perspective of another foundational Buddhist teaching – the Four Marks of Existence.

The Four Marks of Existence are: Impermanência, Sofrimento, Altruísmo, and Peace, and we learn how we can meet our anxiety, depression and other forms of suffering with maitri – a sanskrit word for “unconditional friendliness.” The teachers also guide students in the exploration and practice of Mindfulness of Body, o primeiro dos Quatro Fundamentos da Atenção Plena – yet another core Buddhist teaching.

In his earliest teachings, the Buddha taught that the suffering, ansiedade, depressão, and fear of everyday existence is the First Noble Truth. Such underlying agitation and suffering is changing and impermanent, and it arises from infinite causes and conditions. No entanto, it feels intensely personal (“mine”), e, na verdade, é uma das bases que usamos para construir nossa identidade (“me and my problems”), which is called “mistaking what has no self for a self.” This state of mind generates constant underlying fear and anxiety. When we recognize these simple truths of existence, impermanência, Sofrimento, and the absence of a “true self such as we perceive it,” podemos experimentar a paz do nirvana – and much more contentment and joy.

Curso II – A Segunda Nobre Verdade: A origem do sofrimento, Parte I – Os Cinco Skandas

Instructions in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness are interwoven with the teaching of The Four Noble Truths and provide a meditative method for embracing the totality of our basically good experience – which can include holding our anxiety, dor, temer, and suffering with unconditional friendliness for ourselves, ou maitri.

Having recognized the truth of anxiety, temer, and suffering in our everyday life and the confusion that is also so often pervasive, nós naturalmente temos perguntas. How does this state of seemingly constant anxiety, Sobrecarga, temer, and suffering arise?  Where does this confusion come from? In this in-depth exploration of another foundational Buddhist teaching – “The Five Skandhas” – tocaremos essas camadas ou constelações de experiência, uma por uma, starting from the unconditioned, innate ground of open space, and see how we create our own world of projections. Through this exploration we can uncover what is real and begin to tune into more contentment and joy.

Curso III – A Segunda Nobre Verdade: A origem do sofrimento, parte II – A Roda da Vida, Carma, e os Doze Nidanas

Os ensinamentos fundamentais do Buda indicam que a ansiedade, temer, depressão, e outras formas de sofrimento que experimentamos em nossas vidas podem acabar se reconhecermos, profundamente e profundamente, como esse sofrimento surgiu. Isso requer bravura gentil e contemplação profunda, e significa que devemos estar dispostos a ir além de quaisquer ideias simplificadas anteriores sobre como e por que a nossa ansiedade, medos e sofrimentos surgiram.

Professores: Gelong Loden Nyima and Judith Simmer-Brown

Curso IV – A Terceira Nobre Verdade: Liberdade do sofrimento

Contemplating that anxiety, temer, depression and other forms of suffering can indeed end – that this is actually possible – we first see the possibility and accessibility of the third noble truth as the “gap.” We are basically good and innately worthy human beings. Perceber que isso é verdade é tão simples, e estamos vislumbrando isso o tempo todo. This can free us from our anxiety, temer, and depression, and leads to freedom.

Professores: Suzann Duquette and Daniel Hessey

Curso V – A Quarta Nobre Verdade: O Caminho de Shila, Samadhi, e Prajna

Temos estudado o primeiro ensinamento do Buda: As Quatro Nobres Verdades. After teaching that anxiety, depressão, temer, and other forms of suffering are pervasive to all experience, that there is a cause to that suffering and that the end of that suffering is possible, ele então ensinou um caminho a seguir, que chamamos de “O Caminho”. Na verdade, everything the Buddha taught and all of our experience as practitioners are “The Path.” Nesse curso, we will examine this notion of “The Path” from multiple perspectives of what has been taught by the Buddha and what is experienced by us as individuals walking this beautiful and profound path of transformation.
